After around a year of use a thin layer of plastic started peeling off the black cardboard material. I never traveled with, or kept the palettes in a high humidity area such as a bathroom. When I contacted the manufacturer they seemed aware that this was an issue and the best they could do was to offer me a 20% discount and encouraged me to repurchase more palettes. Needless to say I wish I never depotted all my eyeshadows to have them in a palette that didn't end up lasting.
